The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1445

Before Caleb could even open his mouth, Professor Lewis fired her shot.

"Alright, spill it. What are your intentions with Claire?"

Caleb stared at her, caught between exasperation and disbelief. "Mom, do you really think I'm that kind of guy?"

"She's several years younger than me, and more importantly, she has a fiancé!"

Professor Lewis gasped in shock.

Who on earth had moved that fast?!

"She's engaged already? Was it an arranged childhood marriage?"

Why else would a family lock down an engagement for someone so young?

Caleb thought about it for a second and nodded seriously. "Actually, yes. It was a childhood arrangement."

"From what I understand, it's a generational pact that she inherited."

"Inherited?" Professor Lewis was baffled. Since when were marriage pacts transferable?

Or was it purely enforced by the elders?

"The agreement was originally between Claire's mother, Melissa, and the youngest son of the Green family. But now, it's been passed down to Claire and Dane."

"Melissa? Wait... the Green family? Are you talking about the Melissa I'm thinking of?"

As a Cabinda native who grew up in the same era, Professor Lewis was intimately familiar with Melissa's legendary status.

What shocked her was the revelation that Claire was Melissa's daughter.

And her fiancé was none other than the heir to the Green empire.

Wasn't this just the older generation forcing their unresolved baggage onto the youth?

This engagement felt less like a romance and more like a debt being repaid.

Was a wonderful girl like Claire being forced into a loveless marriage with a ruthless billionaire?
